The Chiefs and people of the Afife Traditional
Area, in the Ketu North constituency, on Sunday, November 20, 2016, conferred
the chieftaincy title ‘Torgbui Dunenyo Dzigbodi I’ on the 2016 presidential
candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.At a
short ceremony at Afife, Torgbui Adzaklo V, President of the Afife Traditional
Area, stated that the conferment of the chieftaincy title on Nana Akufo-Addo was
in recognition of his contribution towards national development, justice and
peace over the years.
“You have exhibited total commitment to peace,
patience, selflessness, transparency, accountability, incorruptibility. In this
regard, we confer on you the title Torgbui Dunenyo Dzigbodi I", Torgbui Adzaklo
V said.
According to Torgbui Adzaklo V, the decision by Nana Akufo-Addo
to put Ghana first by resorting to the use of the courts in the aftermath of the
disputed 2012 elections, as well as accepting the split 5-4 verdict of the
Court, even though he disagreed with the verdict, was enough proof of the NPP
flagbearer’s love for Ghana.
“You have remained patient and bided your
time. This time, however, we are sure your patience and your love for Ghana will
pay off”, the Chief added.
In his brief acceptance speech, Nana
Akufo-Addo thanked the Chiefs and people of Afife for the honour done him, and
reiterated his commitment to helping build a Ghana that is governed by the rule
of law.
He assured the Chiefs and people of the Volta region that when
given the mandate in this year’s elections, he will return Ghana onto the path
of progress and prosperity, and do a job for all Ghanaians without
discrimination.
